Social Impurity in India,

1t appears from recently published statistics
that there are seventy-one districts in India
where social impurity is licensed and regu-
lated as business" or "trade" And il is an
interesting fact that in all these districts
Christianity is very weak. Thus in Bombay,
a city of GA, 400 inhabitants, only per cent.
of the natives are even protesting Christians
In BenareS, where Christian missionaries
have worked so long and faithfully, out of
population of rs, 1SS there are less than $50
of the native citizens counted as Christians
In Julunder the Presbyterians of the country
have built fine school, and have done faith
full missionary work. And vet there are only
seventy-seven Christians in Jullunder. out OF
a population of 80, 067. Peshawur has popu-
lation of IS, 800, of whom only seventeen are
Christians
"These figures" says The Christian Com
monwealth, describe the condition of things
in seats of uncleanlineSS Is it not obvious
that what was too foul and helliSh for per-
petuation in England is destructive of all the
moral editice which we have been seeking TO
build up in British India? We seek TO purge
India of its idolatry with wonderful success
in many districts. But in others the Chris
tan government is surrounding our missiona-
ries with sinks of bestial sensuality, and their

retirement come home and sheer at the results

principal Thus it is that in six years ard
eight months the parties paying s15 a month
will own tho house and lot. l know OF other
cases where parties pay less per month and
take 4 longer time to pay out 1t would
take slo.99l4 pei month to pay for q house
Of this kind in ten years with cash payment
of $500. Il might be said that nobody but u
lhilanthropist would sell property in this
way. In tho case Of which | speak the
philanthropist i; the local manager of the
property of q life insurance company which
owns quite q large amount of unimproved real
estate in q western city, and has surplus
capital on which they desire to realize. 1t is
u good thing for the company. By this
means they arc enabled to unload their real
estate and to use their money profitably.
This is not strictly architectural talk, but
it may result in showing, some one how to get
a home OF in showing some one else how TO
make use of idle capital in a slf7 and profit
able way. This amounts to not only furnish
ing the plan of the house, but as well shows
how it may be realized in substance in an
easy. comfortable way. To the man who has
money to invest it is q good deal better to sell
his houses in this way than it is to rent them.
He gets the interest on his money, which is
all he expects under any circumstances, and
gets rid of the houses, possibly at profit,
before they begin to run down and need re-
pairs. In one sense it is the same thing as
renting the house and selling it at the same
time This is the view which the capitalist
takes of the situation. By looking into it il
little farther he may sec that he is not to be
troubled by insurance, a vacant house or re-
pairs. The cash payment is sufficient to pro-
tcct the expense of forcclosing the mortgage
and the rental of the house during the time
for redemption. If that is not SO he can in
crease the cash payment. take this lengthy
view of the situation from the capitalists
standpoint because he usually takes moro
persuasion to go into thing of this kind

As to the plan itself. There is q little porch
and vcstibulc in front, and from the vesti-
bulc VIC 60 either into the parlor or tho sit
ting room. There is something luxurious to
a great many people in calling ono room of
tho house the parlor, oven though it may be
the sitting room. 1 can imagine circum-
stances under which this room would be used
as {: bedroom AS may be scen there are
two bedrooms opening from tho sitting room.
Each has closet. There is @ closet from tho
sitting room, also ono from tho kitchen, and
as well a pantry Next to tho pantry is tho
collar way which leads to tho cellar under
the bedroom AS the foundation stands about
two feet above the grade, there is plenty of
room for cellar windows and an abundance
of cellar light and ventilation.
In the parlor is q CRATE. By putting q base
burner i'll the dining room, or rather the sit
ting room, as it is lettercd, all of the bed
rooms could be warmed and tho air in the
parlor tempered by leaving the doors open.
The gratc fire would serve to heat this room
under such circumstances, oven in cold
climate
In the bed rooms there is plenty of room
for all the usual furniture There is room for
a dressing case, bureau SO situated that it
will get the light exactly right, and there is a
place for washstand Altogether this will
mako very comfortable little house, and
could be built, under ordinary circumstances,
for about u thousand dollars. Building ma
tcrial and labor are not as cheap in all other
places as at this point AS said before the
house was built here for $500.

The principal is being reduced all tho timc as

There is pretty superstition much IN
vogue among the young, that those who
plight their troth to each other on Christ
mas day will be happy in their children
thereafter. AS Christ was sinless, so their
sons will be good and their daughters pure.
For the same reason many marriages take
place on that day.
The Christmas bridegroom is in some
parts expected 10 pretend to steal his bride,
less rudely, however, than the Tartars of
the Asiatic Steppes. At the appointed hour
the family of the girl depart for the meet
ing house, leaving her behind arrayed in
all her wedding finery and alone. Then
the groom rides furiously up to the house
on horseback with some of his own friends,
and with show of violence on his part and
feigned reluctance on hers, drags her out OF
the cabin, places her before him on his own
horse, and starts for the church. He is
armed with long hickory" which he
hourishes over her head thus evincing TO
the world his future matrimonial author
ity over her.
After the ceremony every man, woman
and child kisses the bride, shakes hands
with the groom, who, remounting the same
horse with his wife, ride off to their future
home, followed by every one who chooses
to go. On their arrival bountiful dinner
IS set forth and partaken OF by all. Then
dancing and other amusements follow.
Wrasslin' of various kinds, such as the

female present. Jumping, shooting at a

a heavy POPULARITY pervades the atmos-

Now the lusty spring is seen;
Golden yellow, gaudy blue,
Daintily invite the view.
Everywhere on every green,
Roses blushing as they blow,
And enticing men to pull;
Lilies whittier than the snow,
Woodbines of sweet honey full;
All loves emblems, and all cry,
Ladies, if not plucked, we die"
Hear, We ladies that despise
What the mighty Love had done;
Fear examples, and be wise;
Fair Calisto was nun;
Leda, sailing on the stream
To deceive the hopes of man,
Love accounting but dream,
Dotted on silver swan;

Where no love was, loved shower.
